Developers can now customize sign-in experiences for their mobile apps using Amazon Cognito.
Amazon Web Services announced Thursday’s update, adding several new features to Cognito User Pools. This is the mechanism in Cognito that allows developers to create and manage their user directory, sign-in/sign up process, and more.
AWS has provided pre-built sign in/sign up user forms to Cognito User pools that developers can add to their apps using Amazon Cognito SDK.
These forms are now available to all users and allow for customization of the user experience to match your branding and style, AWS announced in its announcement.
Developers can enable customers to log into their applications using other online accounts, such as their Facebook or Google accounts. This is possible without having to manage multiple SDKs from different providers.
Instead, users can be directed to AWS-hosted pages by the updated Cognito User Pools. According to the announcement, Cognito will handle the identity provider interactions and create user profiles for federated users within Cognito User Pools.
AWS stated that users can now sign up and log in using social identity providers, corporate identities providers with SAML, and a username with Cognito User Pools.
